"This is as good as it gets."
There's electricity in the air this opening week of the 2003 baseball season as players eagerly pick up their gloves and take to the field for their season openers. From morning to night since Sunday, fans have crowded stadiums and tuned in to their computers and televisions to watch games, patriotic tributes and players. As Lou commented, Opening Day for baseball truly is as good as it gets. Read up on all season openers now.


Sammy Sosa

All it will take
is one swing...
One powerful, compact, right-on-target swing and Sammy Sosa will make history. Sosa continues his pursuit of home run No. 500 on Thursday as the Chicago Cubs face the New York Mets at Shea Stadium at 1:10 p.m. ET. You can catch all of Sosa's at-bats in our free, live look-ins every time Sammy's at the plate. Or you can watch the entire broadcast on MLB.TV. More >
